16Yahweh God commanded the man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat:
17but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat of it: for in the day that you eat of it you will surely die."
18Yahweh God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him."
19Out of the ground Yahweh God formed every animal of the field, and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. Whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name.
20The man gave names to all cattle, and to the birds of the sky, and to every animal of the field; but for man there was not found a helper suitable for him.
21Yahweh God caused a deep sleep to fall on the man, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.
22He made the rib, which Yahweh God had taken from the man, into a woman, and brought her to the man.
